Stopping Construction of the Border Wall
There are miles of double-layered walls and fences along the Nogales, Arizona-Mexico border that have dramatically reduced illegal crossings. The border wall is a force multiplier helping our Border Patrol do their job in protecting our country from drug trafficking and human smuggling.
I was dumbfounded to find that there are holes in the wall because the Biden administration has issued an order to stop construction on the wall. I visited one site where the panels were already stacked on the ground and ready to be put up.
Instead, they are prohibited from completing this task. Now, a Border Patrol agent has to be permanently stationed in the area to guard this 100-foot hole in the fence. To not finish this small section of the wall is a decision that defies common sense.
Our Customs and Border Protection officials are heroes for the work they do in securing our border and legal ports of entry. They should be given the tools they need to do their jobs but the Biden administration is making that nearly impossible.
President Trump drew some tough lines in the sand when it came to dealing with migrants seeking to game the system. And the fact of the matter is what he did worked. The Biden administration should acknowledge and accept that fact instead of trying to undo his policies.
By their words and actions, the Biden administration is emboldening smugglers and enticing migrants to come. I fear that we will soon see caravan after caravan again forming in the Northern Triangle countries and headed toward the United States.
The Biden administration will have no one to blame but themselves for these reckless immigration policies.

Trump 2024
Seems kind of strange to hear Graham talk about reckless immigration policies.
While Graham is thrilled at the influx, it calls for some theater in an attempt to maintain his voter base.
Given Gram’s record on Amnesty, he hasn’t done this country any favors and he looks like a jerk whining about it because Biden’s people are doing what he always wanted done.
LOL!! MY EXACT THOUGHT!!
I doubt Graham’s sincerity.
I will never vote for that corksucker.
The blame goes squarely on the individuals who refused to make the sacrifice in keeping Biden from occupying the White House.
Exactly!
What did Graham do or say to stop the unconstitutional regime from fraudulently entering the Whitehut?
ZERO.
He’s as fake as Pence.
Seems I recall you voted to certify old Joe as Potato-in-Chief, along with sanctioning unlimited voter fraud. You, and the rest of the Repukes, are complicit in all of this.
You really didn’t think a politician was going to sacrifice their cushy job to back trump did you? They are ther for years and trump would have been gone way before they would.
In February of this year, 44 Democrats, including Senator Schumer voted for a bill that had $25 billion for a wall. .... Democrats want Trump to lose more than they want the country to win. pic.twitter.com/U3L7qrkQbV— Lindsey Graham (@LindseyGrahamSC) December 12, 2018
We are not going to ABANDON the wall.
We are going to BUILD the wall!— Lindsey Graham (@LindseyGrahamSC) December 23, 2018
Mr. President, the Democrats are not working in good faith with you.
Declare emergency, build the wall now.— Lindsey Graham (@LindseyGrahamSC) January 11, 2019
House Democrats’ border barrier/wall offer is PATHETIC.
I hoped that Democrats would make good faith effort to strike a deal on border barrier/wall.
Unfortunately, it seems they hate @realDonaldTrump more than they want to solve problems. pic.twitter.com/682AVr78Xq— Lindsey Graham (@LindseyGrahamSC) February 1, 2019
There is money available to President @realDonaldTrump in the current budget to move around and help build the wall.
We’d be stupid as a party not to stand behind him. ....I can’t think of a better issue to define the Democrat and Republican Party than this.#BuildTheWall pic.twitter.com/drMnkIbCFp— Lindsey Graham (@LindseyGrahamSC) February 14, 2019
I stand firmly behind President Trump’s decision to use executive powers to build the wall-barriers we desperately need.https://t.co/E2OvdT7pNo— Lindsey Graham (@LindseyGrahamSC) February 15, 2019
Big day as this Supreme Court decision will allow emergency funds to be spent on the much-needed Wall.
After this decision the Border Wall will get stronger and better.
A great week for President @realDonaldTrump!https://t.co/3b8r2KxQgD— Lindsey Graham (@LindseyGrahamSC) July 27, 2019

As one of Graham’s friends said, he says things that are purely for Public Consumption.
Go by his actions.
.
Linda never saw an amnesty plan he didn’t like.
.
Hahahaha
Now, there’s an understatement!
‘
Blame?
They’re patting themselves on the back!
IF he got certain things: merit-based immigration and ALL the money for the wall. But the Democrats never wanted to give up anything in return for amnesty.
I don’t think they are celebrating. In the NY Post there is an article stating the White House suddenly realizes they should probably do something to deter illegals amid the border surge. I think they bought off more than they can chew and they are going to lose both houses in 2022.
